Meta Knight

“Victory is my destiny.”

—Meta Knight, Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Template:SSB Infobox Meta Knight is one of Kirby's rivals and sometimes friend. Meta Knight was born in Dream Land, which is also where Kirby grew up.

Super Smash Bros. Series

Although he did not appear playable, Meta Knight had a trophy dedicated to him in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It was randomly won through Collect the Trophies on Classic Mode, or the Lottery.

However, Meta Knight appears as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. His purple cloak is able to transform into wings, just as his Trophy from Super Smash Bros. Melee said. He utilizes his golden sword, the Galaxia, as his main weapon of choice. He can also multi-jump like Kirby and Jigglypuff and, by using his wings, he can glide. He also has a stage in his honor, his very own war ship called the Halberd. Meta Knight's voice actor from the Kirby anime series, Atsushi Kisaichi, provides Meta Knight's voice in Japanese version Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Solid Snake Codec Conversation

• Snake: Mei Ling, there's a mysterious masked man flying around here with a sword...
• Mei Ling: That's Meta Knight. He's a knight from Dream Land. They say his sword swings can break the sound barrier. Whatever you do, don't get caught in one of his furious barrage attacks. He also commands the Halberd, a flying battleship.
• Snake: Mm, I've seen it. The bow looks like his mask. What kind of weirdo puts his face on the bow of a ship, anyway?
• Mei Ling: Umm, maybe he's a little narcissistic. Kind of like someone else I know.
• Snake: Really... And who would that be?
• Mei Ling: Use your imagination...

Meta Knight	File:Trophy240.PNG	The mysterious head of the Meta-Knights, he wields his sword with dignity. He delivered his sword to Kirby and demanded single combat in a show of knightly honor; his strict adherence to his code of ethics makes him a rarity in Dream Land. Sometimes he throws off his cape in battle. It occasionally transforms into wings.

Meta Knight	File:TrMeta knight.jpg	The head of the Meta-Knights, and something of a rival to Kirby. He's quite an accomplished swordsman. Following his code of knightly ethics, he once delivered his sword to Kirby and demanded single combat. His giant cape transforms into wings, giving him the power of flight. He's shown his face briefly before, but his relationship to Kirby is still a mystery.
Galaxia Darkness	File:TrGalaxia darkness.jpg	Meta Knight's Final Smash. He flips his cape, and the darkness within envelops his foes and plunges the world into shadow. He then unleashes a series of sword strikes that do terrible damage and launch his foes. In the darkness, Meta Knight can also reach and attack distant enemies. One can imagine Meta Knight zipping back and forth at high speed to accomplish this.

Trivia

• Meta Knight was also in Nintendo Monopoly, where he took the position of St. Charles Place, and cost $140.
• Without his mask on, Meta Knight looks very much like Kirby, except with a blue body with white eyes.
